work

from labor force media.

And Darren is no stranger to the radio or media, as he will explain in a minute.

But now his latest endeavor includes this podcast called Labor's 9-11 Legacy, which tells the story of those who were around Ground Zero, at Ground Zero, Experience 9-11 from a firsthand standpoint.

And those stories are being told in this podcast, really stories that should be heard by the country, New Yorkers, those who really want to always remember who gave and sacrificed so much.

Darren, thanks for joining me.

It's so nice to talk to you, Imran.

Thank you very much.

So, Darren, let our listeners know first a little about your background and what leads you to Labor Force Media and ultimately to this excellent podcast, Getting the Stories Out There.

Lots to get to, lots to talk about.

Oh, our dear leader going after Labor Day.

You know, those radicals, those leftists, those union people, those people want to destroy America or, or his America.

Uh, and look, you know, labor has never been more popular than it is right now, and we see the approval ratings.

Right back.

[upbeat music] I'm Rick Smith, and this is Labor History in Two.

[upbeat music] On this day in labor history, the year was 1919.

I always go back to, what is work? What-- Why are we showing up in th- in this place and doing stuff for somebody else when we're not the owner? And again, it comes down to we're here to produce output and outcomes.

If you think about work, there are three players.

There's capital, there's labor, and then there's the entrepreneur, right? Who, who's the allocator, right? Capital says, "Hey, I'm gonna give you the resources for your machinery or your plant or your real estate to go do something." The entrepreneurs are sitting there saying, "How do I allocate resources? How do I operate this business? How do I drive strategy?" Labor is exchanging work for a share of the profit that they are creating.

That is how you go back and you read books on the theory of profit from, from the 1800s.

Nothing's changed.

You say this when describing what you do during working hours.

Work.

Lavoro.

Take a break means pausing from work for rest or refreshment.

You use it when talking about short rest during the day.

And that's really important for Jewish people because you can ask for accommodations related to religious garbs.

you know, beers, wearing the yarmulke at work, or also, you know, for Jewish holidays, getting those requests out there.

And a lot of times you just don't think that way.

So it's just raising awareness.

So we continue to go after universities, private employers too.

That's a really big focus, and we believe raising awareness in conferences like this allows us to just talk about all the resources in the federal government.

But we have a president who is against discrimination, and now is the opportunity to make long-term reforms within the workplace so anti-Semitism is eliminated.

We were just talking to Leo Terrell, one of Trump's civil rights lawyers.

Nixie Bunny had been a farmer for a long time, or what is a long time in a rabbit's life.

He had had to work very hard and had found little time to go visiting.

But now that the children were grown, Nixie thought he would like to make a visit to some far country.

He and Mrs. Cottontail had read of a country called Holidayland.

What day of the week is it? Monday, said Molly.

But why should there be such a crowd on the streets on Monday? asked Brownie.

I thought people had to work on Monday.

So they do, said Grandpa Nixie.

Professor Podger said a clear and consistent framework for the remuneration of Deputy Secretaries and other senior executives from whom most departmental secretaries are appointed was also needed to ensure that remuneration arrangements were appropriate, effective and fit for purpose across the APS.

Labor and the Coalition have rejected a blunt cap on Secretary's remuneration as proposed by Tasmanian Senator Jackie Lambie in a private senator's bill examined by a parliamentary committee.

That was diminishing integrity at the top of the public service, in quotes, the story from page 13 by Dana Daniels.

Brioni.

I'm hopeful, though, in the next six-plus months, we can get some steer on what people are thinking.

You wouldn't want this to drag on forever, he said.

The chair of the committee inquiry, Labor's Timus Werner Gibbings, said, We are particularly interested in hearing perspectives from stakeholders on the appropriateness of the governance arrangements at CIT, together with specialists in best practice in governance in tertiary educational institutions.

Independent Thomas Emerson, who sits on the committee, last week said he saw two possible pathways forward for the Canberra Institute of Technology.

The Mike Broomhead Show begins now.

Yes, and in studio with us, special guest, the Secretary of Labor for the United States, Keith Sunderling is here.

Mr. Sunderling, thank you so much for doing this.

Thanks for having me.

And why I was so inspired about it, it's the exact type of workforce development and education that we want to see nationwide.

You know, when I'm in D.C., we talk about, like, how are we going to change workforce development? How are we going to change the education system to match training and curriculum to where actually jobs are? And that's why we've really been pushing industry-led curriculum in this administration.

So we actually have employers working with the Department of Labor, working with the education system to actually tell them the jobs they need, to tell them the skills that are needed for these jobs they're creating.

And that's exactly what we saw here.
